Therapists in Palatka, FL
Palatka celebrates the season when azaleas bloom with its Florida Azalea Festival. Extreme sadness and stress wilt the beautiful blossoms of life. Your mental health weakens, and your ability to hold up to daily pressures diminishes. If a crisis happens, you lack the mental strength to manage it well.
You tell yourself things would be better if life was just easier. Yet, you know you’ve lived through harder things in the past. You need to improve your mental wellbeing to thrive in whatever situations you face. Talk to a counselor in the Palatka area to bloom into better mental health.

Most of the time, most of us, are just doing the best we can. When we get stuck, it’s due not to inability, rather lack of experience or knowledge. Sometimes we just need to be heard and feel understood. Sometimes, we need to add more skills to our toolbox or see things from a different perspective. Throughout the years of my experience in hospitals and private practice, many advances have been made in the field of psychology. We understand so much more about how our brains work! We’ve developed new techniques and refined old ones to help rewrite new neural pathways, change negative thinking habits and heal emotional trauma. I try to approach each client with total acceptance of where you are and who you are right now. As we explore the issues you are dealing with, I hope to be able to teach you some new, highly effective ways to feel more in control of your emotions, reactions and your life. I use a compassionate, multifaceted approach of cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, EFT and even exercise to empower you to help yourself. I look forward to joining you on your life’s journey. You can do this!!
